VAPORIZER Filed July 17. 1931 Henry A Odendafil INVENTOR W ma ATTORNEY opening 4 alignlng Patented Dec. 13; 1932 UNITED STATES i W I Lenin PATENT orrica Application filed July 17,

This invention relates to Vaporizers or mixing devices especially adapted for use on internal combustion engines and has for the primary objectthe provision of a device of the above stated character to be arranged in the path of the fuel from the carburetor to the engine for thoroughly mixing or breaking up the particles of fuel which fail to become vaporized by the carburetor and rior to entering the explosion chambers o the engine so that a more efficient operation of the engine may be had.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a fan shaped member rotatably mounted between the outlet of the carburetor and the intake manifold of the engine and rotated by the passing of the fuel and having the blades s0 pitched and serrated to cause thorough mixing of the fuel.

A further object arranged angularly thereto ing the fuel.

invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying-drawing, in

vwhich. I

Figure 1 is a plan view'illustrating a vaporizer or mixing device constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional View taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1.

'Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 isa mixing element fan shape.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 1 indicates a supporting member in the 2 having ceiving the fasteners between the outlet neck and the intake manifold of an engine. The plate 2 is provided with an with the outlet of the plan view illustrating the prior to being formed into y Wlll th 1881. Serial No. 551,484.

carburetor and the passage of the intake 1i1anifold. supporting bar 5 is formed on the plate 2 and traverses the opening 4 and car- 6 on which is journalled a mi);-

7., The mixing element form segmental shaped portions which are or twisted to provide blades 8 having extensions 9 arranged at ri ht angles to the he edges of the blades 8 and exare provided with serrations lo. The extensions 9 are provided with a plurality of apertures 11. he central portion of the plate is secured to a hub 12 journalled upon the axle 6.

The passage of fuel from the carburetor to the intake manifold will be through the opening 4: causing a rotation of the mixing element 7 and due to its fan shape and angularly disposed extensions 9 and serrated edges that when the fuel enters the engine it will be in a highly combustible state.

c aim is:

A mixing device comprising a circular plate provided with a centrally located opening to receive a shaft and having cut-away portions forming segmental shaped portions blades and said segmental opening and bent angular'ly to form tension to each blade and tions therein and provided in the free edges thereof, said extensions having the adjacent ends thereof substantially in abutting engagement and disposed over the o ning and spaced therefrom and from the s aft, and a hub secured to the plate and journalled on the shaft.

In testimonywhereof I allix my signature.
